So when I saw the Groupon spot, I couldn't believe it. Take a look yourself:

What a missed opportunity — on several levels.

First of all, you could literally (yes, LITERALLY) substitute any actor, actress, spokesmodel or shlep off the street to do the spot. There's nothing Tiffany Haddish-ish about it. Generic Spokesmodel could've delivered those lines.

Second, does Groupon understand its own product? Sure, it's great to support local business (duh!) but is that Groupon's USP? Has ANYONE ever said, "Uh, yeah, I wanna support local business, so I'll buy a Groupon."? (Spoiler: NO!)

It's to save money; try a restaurant or service at a reduced cost. Period. Full stop.The spot itself is unfunny and dumb. Wow, a rich guy gets hit with a football. Hardee har har.No lie: I could write a better spot. Hell, almost anyone could.Glad Tiffany Haddish got a big check, but this is a Super Bowl spot, Groupon. You blew it.
